I’ve shot 31 for long enough with a release choked up short I think I’ve gotten used to it. I’m shooting an Elite E 35 at 31. 2014 model, been looking real hard at the prime black series. I think their black 5 goes out to 32 but don’t quote me on that. The black 3 at 31 with 80 limbs may get into my checkbook

Nope I was wrong, sorry, their 39” bow goes out to 33inches. Everything thing else is 31. I haven’t shot a ton of bows in last 6 years, but the few I have, not everybody’s 31” draw felt the same length to me. Elite E35 at 31” was only one where I felt good. Everything else seemed like my bow arm wasn’t really locked out. But it was longest axel to axel also. I’m interested to see how prime black feels.

I am shooting the Hoyt double xl @ just shy of 33". the bow is pretty accurate and easy to bareshaft tune. I am also shooting 80+ lbs and still bareshafts pretty easy with 534 gr arrows.

Seriously check out APA bows. I have a Black Mamba 35 now and its a sweet bow.
They have something for the longer draw lengths.

31.5” could probably go back to a 32” as they make one

New to this forum. I am 6'7" and have a 32" DL. I shoot a Mathews Switchback LD, an Elite Tempo and a Mathews Z9. That is also my order of my preferences. I love the SBLD. Not a fast bow, but very accurate. Tempo is a dream to shoot, but I do not like to let in down. It holds in the back wall with so much ease, that if I need to not take the shot, it feels like I have to push the string forward. The Z9 is only a 30" ATA bow, so my only complaint is the angle of the string at full draw. But I still love that bow as well. If I had to let one go, it would be the Z9. I have looked at used bows: Traverse, Atlas, Revolt XL, but I just don't want to spend the $ that these bows still cost used.

I have the Atlas, you won't regret it!
